"Provoking Public Space and Authority"
Power and authority influence and manifest in every time and space. Temporally, they create history and legitimacy. Spatially, they design and control how individuals move within them. If an individual wishes to "legally" use public space, they must obtain consent from the center of power; otherwise, "illegality" is unavoidable. Therefore, the provocation of public space has become a particular focus of my interest.
In "Running Urine," executed on the fifth floor rooftop of a parking garage, I urinated from the highest point of a spiral ramp, allowing the urine to spiral downwards. I then added 29 gallons of my collected urine to the flow, letting it reach the ground level and spill out onto the public road from the exit ramp, finally draining into the sewer to conclude the performance.
「對公共空間、威權的挑釁」
權力與權威，影響並展現在每一個時空之中。在時間上，它製造歷史與合法性。在空間上，它設計、控制個体如何行動其中。個体如果要「合法」的使用公共空間，一定要經過權力中心的同意，否則「非法」是不可避免的。因此特別對公共空間的挑釁，就變成為我個人興趣的焦點。
〈奔流的尿〉於Mesa Parking Structure停車場的五樓頂樓，表演者站在斜坡頂上解尿，尿液順著螺旋的建築結構流向下層。每當尿液流勢變慢時，表演者將推車上收集的二十九加崙尿液倒入其中，如此未曾間斷地，向下流淌，直到抵達地面層。表演者隨後走到入口斜坡，停在梅薩路（Mesa road）中央，倒盡剩餘的尿液，這股流動的尿液一路向下，沿著梅薩路流淌 250 英尺，最終排入路邊的排水口，結束表演。
